United States First Circuit

The district court's denial of petitioner's motion to set aside his drug distribution conviction, filed after a revelation that a chemist at a state testing laboratory had falsely certified drug-test results, is affirmed, where the chemist's misconduct was not likely to have influenced the petitioner's decision to enter a guilty plea.
